Variegated Plants in the north
Variegated Plants In the North.
These plants are generally easy to grow especially in containers. Container growing is an easy way to control all variables of any plants growth. It also allows your plant to be portable when winter months arrive. I grow mine just like my other plants with a few exceptions. Generally the plant is not cool weather tolerant and will pull back in unfavorable conditions. |

Re: Variegated Plants in the north
The plant is similar to a Viente cohol with the growing conditions...
Target growing temps are 80 degrees and above for me. Cool wet temperatures will cause this plant to pull back and possibly perish. I've had my share failures. However in a conservatory or greenhouse with consistent warm temperatures this plant will flourish. |

Wow, aeae in Ohio. That is very hard core. Wish you the best of luck, doubt you will need it based of all your other posts.

Re: Variegated Plants in the north
Plant them outdoors in the best soil possible.
Or keep them in a container where you have more control. Do what you can afford........do not skimp. Grow the plant as you would all your others. The plant develops a tall footprint which makes the plant difficult for home growers to manage indoors during the the winter. |

Hi Cin..... how long did it take to get your AEAE that tall? That is some serious height! What happened to it in the end?

Fertilize now for spring growth.
My grow in the north is different than your grow. Quote:
I have seen in zone 9 similar times with the same outcome. Coastal Florida Zone 10 similar predictable grow pattern and height. Same in zone 11. Inexperienced growers have a hard time growing this COOL sensitive plant once it becomes chest high and underestimate the resources to grow the plant season to season. Folks have a difficult time with the large footprint. Quote:
Pstem 7-10 feet with 12 ft leaves.....or larger. Quote:
